Give this formula a try (it should work for any text string, not just
individual special characters)... =SUMPRODUCT(LEN(B1:B9)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B1:B9,"<","")))/LEN("<") or, put the text to find in a cell, say, C1... =SUMPRODUCT(LEN(B1:B9)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B1:B9,C1,"")))/LEN(C1) Rick "Gaurav" wrote in message ...
